AJ Dillon

[RashanGary]

I really like Aaron Jones, but I'd rather keep Bahk than Jones. Pro Bowl LTs are usually franchise cornerstones, RBs are more easily replaced. Not sure they can keep both, plus Dillon and Dexter are being groomed as the replacements.

You guys are making a ton of sense. If Lazard and Dillon become players (two likely ifs) this is such a no brainer, it wouldn’t even be a conversation.

But so many ifs exist, nothing is guaranteed to work. I guess that’s why only one team wins the SB every year.

It crosses my mind too. Really hope Lazard develops fast chemistry with Rodgers this year. That would seal the deal for me. Rodgers needs two talented guys he can rely on.

I let go Lindsey, Taylor, Mercedes and Aaron Jones next year.

I keep Clark, King and Bakh.


We have two more years before we would lose Alexander and I’m sure that would work itself out. Keeping the King, Alexander, Amos, Savage secondary together for the next three years would be huge for our defense. Plus we have Z, P and Clark for that timeframe too. The defense could be top tier for Rodgers twilight, which might be better than an offensive leaning team.

Lindsey is important hate to see him go.
I do see our d staying together 3 more years and improving along the way. I love how open our sbout window is especially how mvs and lizard are doing in camp ( from what I have read). This is the most optimism I have had since 2012.

A run game, legit defense and HOF QB still in his prime with davante. What could possibly go wrong?

This talk about letting Linsley and even Aaron Jones go in order to keep damn overrated Bakhtiari PISSES ME OFF.

Hopefully, the GM and coaching staff have better sense than some posters talking that way.

Bahktiari was voted 2nd team AP All-Pro and Sporting News All-Pro last year. The AP team, with first-team and second-team selections, was chosen by a national panel of fifty NFL writers and broadcasters. The Sporting News All-NFL team was voted on by NFL players and executives. These aren't votes from fans, but from peers and professionals in the business.

You know who else from the Packers made All-Pro last year? NOBODY. Not Linsley, not Jones, not Adams, not even Rodgers. You might not think Bahktiari is good, but a LOT of people in the business would disagree.

[Freak Out]

Jones isn't going anywhere except to the SB with Arod and the rest of the team.

[texaspackerbacker]

+ 1 to that!

[RashanGary]

We’ll see. Teams with high paid running backs fail. We have Dillon and the much cheaper Williams. We don’t have another LT or a corner after King. We’ll see.

I’m torn. I don’t want to lose him and think they’ll try to keep him. Just not sure. Gute seems to value defense much more than TT did.

All of which shows the stupidity of those "peers" and professional media shitheads.

[RashanGary]

I like king better than Jones, I’m one of the few.

[Upnorth]

How does z not get an AP nod even 2nd string??? Or Clark???

qre you referring to short term, or two years from now when they'll both be playing elsewhere ? ))

Like I said, those media pukes are stupid.

King is #2 on my shit list, but way behind Bakhtiari.

LOL I knew you were going to say that.
Reminder: those peers are NFL players and executives. If you're watching film and/or lining up against him, you probably know exactly how good he is.
You are certainly welcome to have your own opinion, bear in mind it doesn't jive with most pros.

By McGinn's count, Linsley allowed the most bad runs on the line, and as many sacks as Bahk... plus he's "on the smaller side" and the "back problem that knocked him out of the second Lions game bears watching in the future." I like Linsley a lot but I'd rather have Patrick and Bahk on the OL over Linsley and Marshmellow Newhouse.

As for Dillon, it sounds like he's impressed in camp. Imagine if he pans out like prime Lacy, and is paired with Jones and Ervin. That could be a lot of fun.
Interested to see if the offense can grind down teams until victory formation.
